Announcing telepathy-gabble 0.8.9, the “tender limbs of America's favorite homemaker” release. telepathy-gabble is the Jabber (XMPP) connection manager for the Telepathy real-time communication framework. 0.8.x releases are a stable branch.
This release fixes an issue where Gabble would unnecessarily probe a number of proxy servers on every sign-in, wasting bandwidth and angering server admins. tarball: http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/releases/telepathy-gabble/telepathy-gabble-0.8.9.tar.gz signature: http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/releases/telepathy-gabble/telepathy-gabble-0.8.9.tar.gz.asc git: git://git.collabora.co.uk/git/telepathy-gabble.git gitweb: http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=telepathy-gabble.git Enhancements: • Gabble now advertises a 'pmuc-v1' capability bundle, telling the Google Mail client that we support being invited to MUCs. (fd.o#22768, jonnylamb) • Rather than hard-coding a list of SOCKS5 proxy servers to use if the user's own XMPP server does not provide one, Gabble now falls back to a list of proxy servers returned by discoing the newly-set-up proxies.telepathy.im. (fd.o#25304, cassidy) Changes: • The fallback STUN server is now stun.telepathy.im. Fixes: • Always assume that MUC servers will let us change the subject, mitigating fd.o #13157; previously we assumed they would only let moderators change the subject. (smcv) • The password param is now flagged as secret. (fd.o #24558, smcv) • MUC servers are no longer sent a service discovery request the first time you request a handle for a room on that server. This was unnecessary—we can just try to join it, and if it fails it fails—and meant we couldn't join Google Talk's MUCs (since their server doesn't respond to the discos). (fd.o#21152, jonnylamb) • If the TargetID in a MUC request has no server, canonicalize it. Previously this was only done in RequestHandles() calls. (fd.o#22456, jonnylamb) • If built with --disable-assumed-ft-cap, Gabble does not advertise support for file transfers unless a handler is available. This is opt-in for backwards-compatibility reasons; distros should only turn this flag on if they're sure the FT capability is turned on when it should be by Mission Control. (fd.o#25243, smcv) • Only disco SOCKS5 proxies when they're needed for a file transfer or tube. (fd.o#21151, cassidy) Regards, -- Will _______________________________________________ telepathy mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/telepathy
